Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Film Indy (the city's film office), coordinating Indy Parks and city right-of-way permits

Processing: Start at least 15 business days ahead for anything beyond simple b-roll
All productions are asked to file a Film Indy application before shooting, and proof of liability insurance is required before Film Indy releases the permit. General b-roll filming carries no fee. Commercial shoots in Indy Parks are billed (roughly $200 for a half day, $400 full day), and right-of-way closures go through city permitting with their own fees. Casual personal photography needs nothing. Verify current terms with Film Indy.
Drone / airspace
Commercial drone work requires FAA Part 107; local property rules add restrictions
Local takeoff, landing, and park restrictions sit on top of FAA airspace rules. For Part 107 and drone law, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes: you can photograph what is visible from public space in the US
Private property sets its own rules regardless of city law.
Practical notes
- Monument Circle and the war memorial plazas are state property under the Indiana War Memorials Commission, which has its own permission process separate from the city.
- The Canal Walk is a signature spot; check whether your stretch is city or state managed before a commercial shoot.
- Indianapolis Motor Speedway is private property with its own media rules.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
